Use masking/painters tape instead. You can get it in many widths. Lay your tape down and quilt next to the tape. Peel off the tape and place it against your just quilted line to quilt your next line. You can usually re-use a piece of masking tape 4 or 5 times before you have to do another. Do not leave the masking tape on for extended periods. If you stop for the day and don't plan to quilt for the next few days, take the tape off. It is the easiest way to do cross hatching either by machine or by hand. The only application it doesn't work well with is a rack mounted longarm. In those cases I will mark the quilt before I load it for cross hatching large background areas.
